Is there any chance you could use a different pharmacy? Possibly call around and see if you can get price quotes from other places? I know Wal-Mart has a list of like $4/month prescriptions, and Walgreens has a prescription savings program. Costco or Sam's are supposed to be less expensive as well. There is also at least one non-insurance script savings group out there, with supposedly varying reliability... Since you don't have insurance it might be worth looking into.

See if the pharma co. offers patient assistance. Some companies will send the med or a voucher for typical monthly supplies to low income patients. If not, see if there is an alternate med that can be prescribed where there are $4 generics or have PA programs.

Yeah, I was playing phone-tag with my doctor's office all afternoon. Trying to see if there is a cheaper equivalent.

The problem is that these Pharma companies are fitting against what is referred to as Obama Care. We are being over charged for Rx drugs, they are make here and cost less in other countries. In the North part of the country we have people going to Canada to get the Rx drugs because they are cheaper.

The cost of my Epilepsy medication is close to a $1.000 for three month supply, We are getting screwed if we are sick.
